Nuseir Yassin, known as Nas Daily online, is a content creator whose videos have captivated millions around the world. Born to a Palestinian Muslim family in Israel and educated at Harvard, Yassin has built a global brand rooted in storytelling, travel, and cultural exchange. In recent years, he has increasingly focused his platform on fostering understanding between Jews and Arabs.
In 2024, he produced a video titled “I studied Judaism for 1 month. Now I love to argue,” which blended humor and respect as he explored Jewish traditions with Rabbi Dov Ber Cohen. The video reached millions of viewers. Another meaningful contribution is his video “The Only School For Jews and Arabs,” which highlights the Hand in Hand school, a unique institution in Israel where Jewish and Arab children learn together.
The video showcases the school’s efforts to foster coexistence. That same year, Yassin was honored with ADLs Daniel Pearl Award. The award, named after the American journalist, murdered by terrorists, recognized Yassin’s cross-cultural storytelling and his outspoken stance against hate.
Further acknowledging his impact, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev awarded Yassin an honorary doctorate in 2025. The university cited his “unwavering pursuit of harmony and benevolence,” praising his public opposition to terrorism and violence.
At the 2025 Jerusalem Post conference in New York, he proposed leveraging artificial intelligence to combat antisemitism in Arabic-speaking communities––by producing educational content that challenges hateful myths and promotes understanding.
Yassin’s speech at ADL’s Never is Now summit in 2024 ended with a call to action: “Peace is not going to come from politicians. Peace is going to come from you.”
